A renewing retreat in Cornwall

Ruth Jackson underwent a 'spa journey' to recharge her batteries by the Cornish seaside.

Taking two weeks off to recharge your batteries can feel more trouble than it's worth. Even if you escape your desk, your smartphone ends up in your peripheral vision pinging away, even on the sun lounger. What if there was a place you could go for a few days, and come back thoroughly rested, having missed very little: a super-charging break? The good news is that place exists. Even better, it's in Britain and involves a beach.

It's the Scarlet Hotel in Mawgan Porth, Cornwall. Just three nights at this spa retreat will leave you feeling new and improved. This spa hotel has upped the game. The therapists here don't just concentrate on your body, they look at the complete you and come up with a plan to improve both your body and your mind.
